A history of the criticism of John Milton's epic Paradise Lost, tracing the major debates as they have unfolded over the past three centuries. The book traces nine debates (about Milton's style, his use of the epic genre, his use of the epic simile, Satan, God, innocence, the Fall, sex, nakedness, and astronomy) through eleven chapters, each of which proceeds chronologically from 1667 to 1970. The book will be of use to Milton specialists, to students studyingParadise Lost, and to anyone with an interest in poetry (especially epic) or Christianity (especially theodicy) or Satan, blasphemy and heresy.Volume I: Style and Genre; Volume II: Interpretative Issues Assistant Professor
